Friend Claggett, of the Keokuk Constitution . . .

. . . devotes more than a column to the small article of fifteen
lines on currency printed in this paper the other day, and takes occasion to
ask us several questions touching law, finance, paper money, coin, &c.We refer him back to that article.If his questions are not answered in that he
can infer that we cannot answer them.We
said all we had to say and ventilated all our stock of knowledge in that short
article, and if we know ourself as we think we do, we shall not bore our
readers with any repetitions our reiterations.He is entirely welcome to have it all his own way.In the mean time if he is really anxious for
information on currency and finance he is certainly in a fair way of acquiring
it practically.If he continues a year
in the newspaper business he will learn a good many things that will be of use
to him if he survives.And this is the
only kind of teaching that will ever reach his case.
